Comments regarding DW's diet changes-
A massive change from my diet when I conceived either of my daughters – I stopped/cut down coffee (drank black tea with milk), ate much more and much more nutritious foods , snacked to keep BS levels stable. I was pretty much vegetarian and with the diet had way more protein esp. from animal sources (red meat as much as I could bear). We were both drinking a can of coconut water pretty much daily, bananas daily, lots of nuts/dried fruits, wholegrain foods, lots of good fats and veg/fruit – I truly think we bettered our diet massively!
I drank loads of lemon water and added eggs where I could, and ate yogurt daily (all dairy was full fat).
If diet was used, length of time before attempt?
16 weeks of full on diet (I did start making gradual changes from January)
Did you skip breakfast regularly?
No – at worse, it would be delayed if running short on time
Did DH change his diet with you?
To some extent – I tried increasing his protein intake
Comments regarding DH's diet-
Couldn’t get him to take time for breakfast so that was hard
Did you consume alcohol?
No
DId you try to limit caffeine?
Yes, I limited my intake and the month of the BFP I had basically none
Any Diet Details?
Always grazing, feeling full, wouldn’t let myself go hungry (and if I had a niggle of hunger I would immediately pop a few almonds to munch on at least)

WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?
My BMI still is on the low side (19-20 ish?) and my scale is broken but pretty sure I put on a few kilos
Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?
Not really any exercise, just too plain tired after work – did walk as much as possible – and during the WEs we always walk a fair bit and keep active with the girls

Things that make me feel great about my sway:
The HE diet clearly made a drastic change to my fertility – after taking literally years and medicated cycles to conceive each of our girls, falling pregnant so quickly (the 2 1st cycles were “tests’ in my view as we were adjusting and didn’t do our true best then) for me is a testament to what the diet did to my body! My AF started arriving in the am for the first time ever before we started ttc just with the diet changes….not sure it means anything but it is still worth noting in my books! ;)
We had a great BD pattern, my fertility was increased, so was my overall condition – so that in itself makes me happy!
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
Exercise – I wish I could have found the strength to get some formal weights in there (though DD2 being a clingy koala, I get a work out of sorts ^^)…DH was a bit slack too!
